歷代志下22:10-12

 

22:10 亞哈謝的母親亞她利雅見她兒子死了，就起來剿滅猶大王室。
22:11 但王的女兒約示巴將亞哈謝的兒子約阿施從那被殺的王子中偷出來，把他和他的乳母都藏在臥房裡。約示巴是約蘭王的女兒，亞哈謝的妹子，祭司耶何耶大的妻。她收藏約阿施，躲避亞她利雅，免得被殺。
22:12 約阿施和她們一同藏在上帝殿裡六年；亞她利雅篡了國位。

 

¹⁰ When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to destroy the whole royal family of the house of Judah. ¹¹ But Jehosheba,^[e] the daughter of King Jehoram, took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the royal princes who were about to be murdered and put him and his nurse in a bedroom. Because Jehosheba,^[f] the daughter of King Jehoram and wife of the priest Jehoiada, was Ahaziah’s sister, she hid the child from Athaliah so she could not kill him. ¹² He remained hidden with them at the temple of God for six years while Athaliah ruled the land.

    亞她利雅更可怕的作為，就是她兒子亞哈謝死了，就起來剿滅猶大王室。

 

    然而上帝仍然保守大衛家 ，就是透過約示巴將亞哈謝的兒子約阿施從那被殺的王子中偷出來，把他和他的乳母都藏在臥房裡。她是祭司耶何耶大的妻，她收藏約阿施，躲避亞她利雅，免得被殺。

 

    在亞她利雅篡了國位的期間，約阿施藏在上帝殿裡六年！這是上帝奇妙的作為，讓我們再一次感受「上帝恆保守」！尤其是在預備基督這事上，更是如此！
